Please do a cheshbon nefesh and ask yourself if you understand why we have Gedolim. Aside from their Torah, being mechazek an out of town shull were shiurim and harbatza torah is taking place is EXACTLY what they should be doing.

Very unique. Realistically, I don’t see how you’re going to get that cement from Eretz Yisroel all the way to Miami without it drying up.
I hope that this will not become a new trend, where everytime one wants to open/build a new Shul, they are going to fly to Eretz Yisroel and bother our Gedolim with this shtuyot. You want to get a Bracha? Gezunte heiyt. But why make a whole production out of it? You think our Gedolim are playthings R”L? We live in a generation where we put a lot of emphasis on chitzoinios/marketing and we are mivazeh our Gedolim in the process. This has to stop.

If it was truly lishem shomayim, why were the pictures necessary? Why is it on the Internet? Ever heard of tznei haleches? When they get back home, they can show their tzibbur all the pictures/videos/endorsements. This is all marketing and the Gedolim shouldn’t be used for this. It is not kavodik. I’m not singling out this particular Shul. I’m just saying this is becoming a very disturbing trend. Matzav and the others are always showing pictures of Rebbes being forced to come and put Mizuzos on the latest pizza shop, sushi bar, hat store, etc… They are using/abusing Rabbanim to make a few dollars. Sorry, if you disagree but it is a tremendous Chillul Hashem R”L.

I like that your name is a ringing endorsement of yourself – but my endorsement you won’t get.

And no, I have never heard “tzinei haleches” – but I have heard of Hatzneiah Leches. I have also heard the term “Kodak Moment”. Is it so farfetched to believe that the pictures were taken to remember the moment? Is it so unreasonable, and such a transgression of tzinei haleches (sic) to want to take a picture with Gadol?

And don’t be sorry if other people disagree, you don’t owe them an apology for disagreeing with your buffonery.

Reb Zelig, He is probably an 18 yr old bochur who IYH will develop a mature enough understanding of the world one day through a true “yiidishkeit” lens and realize as you put it his previous “buffonery.”
